UofL's Walz gets one-game NCAA tourney suspension by oggie

Our new favorite coach to dislike got his comeuppance for his misbehavior during the 2018 Final Four.

INDIANAPOLIS — Louisville coach Jeff Walz has received a one-game NCAA Tournament suspension for comments he made toward NCAA committee members and staff at the scorer’s table during the Final Four.

The NCAA issued a public reprimand to Walz on Friday.

Walz must serve the suspension the next time his team reaches the NCAA Tournament, regardless of what school he’s representing. The committee also will withhold Walz’s Final Four per diem allowance.

NCAA officials said in a release that Walz “directed inappropriate comments and profane language” toward committee members and staffers during Louisville’s 73-63 overtime loss to Mississippi State in a March 30 NCAA semifinal.

The Division I Women’s Basketball Committee noted Walz had been reprimanded several times in the past. It decided to apply a stronger penalty to discourage future misconduct.
